I'd like to challenge this information as a (once) happy stripper who used to be pretty successful at capitalizing on femininity, yet miserable as a mother...
What's written here is data that marks the kind of conservatism that made me deeply unhappy as a positive experience. It's reminiscent to having, like, Christian values instead of capitalistic types that are another form of conservatism. One where you have the freedom to choose who to benefit from. The former is very, very limiting and therefore boring. It makes few humans truly happy and a lot of women are too ashamed to admit it so they suffer even more.
I'm only unhappy now because my game got limited due to a cultural shift that praises cheap labor instead of super fun exploitation. That's why I'm here pointing at the similarities: fifth wave (anti-capitalist) feminism is basically what this research praises.
Takeaway: there’s a disconnect btw what women say they want and what they actually respond to. They were better off before feminism.
Edit: feminism was designed for masculine lesbians who are far removed from the normal female experience. Regular women just got taken along for the ride. Look at the biggest names, Adrienne Rich, bell hooks, Valerie Solanas, almost all lesbians.
This is horseshit, and a complete misreading of Stevenson and Wolfers. The problem is that men refuse to step up and share the load at home, and expect women to be their servants without agency. We deserve the right to self-determination and to use our skills and intelligence in the marketplace AND ALSO HAVE A FAMILY, just as men have done for millennia. Please try to evolve.
Did you miss the example of the woman in her mid forties. She has no one to share this mythical ‘mental-load’ with! She focused on everything else, and received exactly what she aimed at. This is not directed at her, I fell bad for her and those that she represents. She followed the feminist model to loneliness.
Studies consistently show that men and women do approximately equal amounts of total work when paid and unpaid work are combined, although the studies typically don't include things like commuting or outdoor work that skew the results. In essence what you are arguing for is for men to do a disproportionate amount of total work, which is hardly surprising since you are obviously a feminist.
Before you make some moronic comment about the 'gender pay gap', the gap exists because of women's choices to work part-time and in more secure but lower-paying jobs, and in less risky and arduous jobs. Regardless, what is more important than who earns the money is who spends it. In that regard there is no contest!
It isn't only Stevenson and Wolfers. It also has to do with the lesbian feminists who wrote the books and all the other pathbreakers that founded an ideology which has made many women miserable - as is clearly outlined above.
I do think men should cheer up a bit more after divorce. When a lion is released back into the wild, he looks happy as Larry.
When chaps are forced to leave, pack the following: guitar, dumbells and a sense of humour.
nice. Guitar, dumbells and a sense of humor. Well said, Dick! Thats exactly what I packed as I headed to the new world....
The only thing I should add to the above 'bug out bag' is a box of lovely eggs.

Female unhappiness is karma. It makes me happy.
I knew this from personal experience. It is all so sad, but feminism itself deserves to pay a reputational cost.

LOL! Still endlessly squealing, screeching and raging in dramatic indignation about… loading a laundry machine.
Too bad men are actually doing that more now: https://darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/in-defense-of-husbands?r=1l7b2v&utm_medium=ios
What an empty-headed, petty little female you are.
And how has this worked out for yourself?

But go ahead, blame "men". It won't help.
